2. Differences in Inventory: If QuickBooks discover differences in the number, value, or transactions connected to an item in inventory, errors may occur. This might happen as a result of software flaws or user error while entering the wrong data.
3. Inaccurate Transaction Records: The program may generate an item history verification error if a specific transaction (such as a sale, buy, or modification) is incorrectly associated with an inventory item.

Important Note: Before you follow the instructions below, ensure your QuickBooks Desktop version is current.

Resolution 1: Rebuild and Verify Data

Rebuild the data

• Choose File, Utilities, and then Rebuild Data.
• Choose OK if you are asked to back up the file.
• After seeing the notice “Rebuild has completed,” click OK to move on to the next stage.

Verify the data

• Select Utilities from File, and then Verify Data.
• After the verification is complete, click OK if QuickBooks shows that there are no issues with your data. You are now free to use the file as before.

Resolution 2: Identify and Manually Edit the Damaged Accounts

Step 1: Use the QBWin.log to get the item number

• Press F2 to launch the Product Information window while QuickBooks is open.
• To access the Open File tab in the Tech Help window, press F3.
• Click Open File, choose QBWin.log, and then click OK.
• Press CTRL + F to open the Find window and look for the error once QBWin.log has opened.
• Make a note of the error message’s item number.

Step 2: Find the damaged item by exporting your item list.

• Navigate to File > Utilities > Export > Lists to IIF Files > Item List.
• Choose your preferred location and hit Save.
• Right-click the file once it has been saved and choose “Open with Excel.” As an alternative, launch Excel and drag the file onto the spreadsheet.
• Find the REFNUM that corresponds to the item number in the error notice, and then take note of the item’s name.

Step 3: Correct the quantity on hand (QOH) of the item.

• Select Inventory from the Reports menu and then Inventory Valuation Detail.
• The date range should be set to all.
• Find the item and note the moment when its quantity started to drop.
• You have two options: either remove the “build assembly” associated with the current negative or if you would want to increase the item’s quantity, enter an inventory adjustment.

How to add an inventory adjustment to raise the item’s quantity

Before making changes to inventory assembly items, take into account the following
information:

• Finalized inventory assembly builds may become pending if the number of inventory assembly components is decreased. To find out if any builds were impacted by the inventory modification, think about running the Pending Builds report both before and after.
• Inventory assembly item quantity adjustments do not affect the number of the goods that make up the assembly (i.e., inventory parts or other inventory assembly items) as listed in the Bill of Materials. You must lower the number of the inventory assembly items and raise the quantity of each component if you wish to deconstruct it and restore its components to inventory.
• When you change inventory quantities in QuickBooks, serial or lot numbers must be added or removed if you monitor them. As a result, before changing the quantity on hand, you must give serial or lot numbers to inventory items.

1. Now, Select Inventory Activities under Vendors (QuickBooks Pro/Premier) and then Modify Quantity/Value on Hand.
   • Click Inventory (Enterprise) and choose Modify Quantity/Value in Stock.
   • Select Inventory Activities on the Mac, and then Modify Quantity/Value on Hand.
2. Choose Adjustment Type, followed by Quantity.
3. Put the adjustment date here.
4. After choosing the account to track inventory adjustments, choose Adjustment Account.
   • Perhaps you should open a new account specifically for keeping track of inventory modifications. You can use an expenditure account for shortages and losses and an income account for profits, or you can utilize one account for all changes. If you are unsure about the kind of account to utilize, speak with your accountant.
   • You must generate separate adjustments—one for each account—if you need to make changes to several items and assign those changes to several accounts.
5. To apply the modification, first choose Inventory Site and then the site.
   • Add a reference number (optional).
   • To associate this modification with a client or task, choose the Customer: Job drop-down menu and then select the desired client or task.
   • (Optional). Select the Class drop-down arrow and then pick a class if you utilize the class tracking.
6. Click on an item to add more. It is also possible to add more than one item.
7. In the relevant column, enter the New Quantity or the Qty Difference.
   • Enter the difference between the quantity that is now in QuickBooks and the real quantity in the Qty Difference field.
   • For instance, put -5 as the difference if you need to lower the quantity by five.
   • (Details optional) To recall yourself later on why you changed the quantity, write a note in the Memo section.
8. Save the modification.

Step 4: Check your file one more time

• Navigate to File.
• Now, you have to Choose Utilities and then Confirm Data.
• Your file is prepared for backing up if the Verify Utility gives the message “QuickBooks detected no problems”.
• Repeat Solution 2 if the Verify Utility reports, “A data problem prevents QuickBooks from continuing.”
